Go to the folder that the service account belongs to.
At the top of the screen, go to the Service accounts tab.
Choose a service account and click the row with its name.
Under Access keys, click next to the key to be deleted and select Delete.
In the window that opens, click Delete.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

Get a list of static key IDs for a specific service account. Specify the service account name in the --service-account-name parameter:

yc iam access-key list --service-account-name <service_account_name>

Result:

+----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
|          ID          |  SERVICE ACCOUNT ID  |        KEY ID        |
+----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
| aje8bdtqec6l******** | ajeedllrkjma******** | R9JK04o1Dfaf******** |
| ajegqpa91bta******** | ajeedllrkjma******** | cWXGkDoBRho5******** |
+----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+

Delete the old static key. Instead of <ID>, specify the static key ID:
```
yc iam access-key delete <ID>
```

To delete a static key, use the delete REST API method for the AccessKey REST API resource or the AccessKeyService/Delete gRPC API call.
